2. Check your transfer limit

Many banks and financial institutions set an International Money Transfer limit. If you bank with us we set the limit at $0 for security reasons.

Before you make your first IMT you need to either:

Log on to NetBank > Settings > Online banking limits

Log on to the CommBank app > Settings > Payment limits.

3. Watch the exchange rate

Exchange rates change, so it’s good to keep your eye on them so you time your transfer right. Use our foreign exchange calculator (choose 'Send money overseas') to work out how much it'll cost you in Aussie dollars.

Your transfer will be converted into the local currency, so the strength of the foreign exchange rate on the day you send your IMT will determine your transfer amount.

4. Transfer in the local currency

Other banks may deduct processing fees from the amount you transfer. It could result in the recipient receiving less money than you intended. It's a good idea to make a transfer in the local currency as opposed to AUD because we're unable to guarantee that the payment will be received in Aussie dollars. This is because the transfer passes through other banks on the way to the recipient and these banks may convert the funds.

For some countries and currencies you have the option to pay and overseas bank fee upfront to cover these deductions. It's in additional to the amount you want to send to make sure the recipient received the exact amount you committed or wanted to send them.
